USCIS is establishing this record to provide industry with the earliest possible announcement of a major procurement. USCIS has a requirement for Cyber Security Support Services (C3S) II that will utilize GSA HACS 8(a). The C3S-Operations contractor will have a primary responsibility to provide the ability to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from cybersecurity threats and incidents. This ability will require highly specialized skill sets with significant experience and the ability to provide ongoing best practices. The limited number of available Government staff with these skill sets make it essential to find commercial sources to supply these services. Commercial sources should also able to provide cutting edge cybersecurity industry best practices. The contracted services will be required for the foreseeable future and a three year period of performance is anticipated.
